88 HEREDITY OF SKIN COLOR IN NEGRO-WHITE CROSSES. 



II Gen. — Two boys have coarse, quite curly hair, which is dark brown and 

 shows negro blood. One of the two gray-eyed boys has 

 mouse-colored hair which is inclined to curl. All the others 

 have soft, dark brown, very slightly wavy hair, except the 

 baby, whose golden, wavy hair will probably turn darker. 



The little girl has skin say N 1 2, and one boy is ordinarily 

 of the same color, but temporarily much darker from play- 

 ing cricket.

 woman with straight, dark brown hair, who maintains 

 she is white, her father to be a German and her mother a 

 French refugee. Photographs of this Avoman's three 

 brothers show "suspicious hair," and consequently there
